inniverse (“we”), the operator of MEOT, explains below what information the MEOT app (“the app”) processes. The app has no sign-up and does not collect information that directly identifies you, such as your name or contact details.
1. Information we process and why
| Information | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Usage analytics: screens viewed, features used (store details, directions, favorites, filters), app language, app instance ID, approximate city-level region derived from IP | Analyzing and improving the service | Event records: 2 months from collection; device-level identifiers such as the app instance ID: up to 14 months |
| Reports: report type, the store concerned, your text, app language and version | Correcting store information | 180 days from receipt |
This information is collected automatically when you use the app, or when you submit a report. We do not collect advertising identifiers (IDFA / advertising ID), and we do not use this information for advertising or tracking or combine it with other data.
2. Information that stays on your device
Your location, favorites, language setting and scheduled sale alerts are stored and processed only on your device and are never sent to us or any third party. Location is used only if you allow it, to show the map around you and distances to stores; every feature works without it. This data is deleted when you delete the app.
3. Service providers and international transfers
| Provider | Service | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Google LLC (Firebase Analytics) | Processing and storing usage analytics | United States |
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Serving store data, storing reports | United States and other countries with Cloudflare data centers |
Data is transferred over encrypted connections while you use the app and is kept for the retention periods above. If you do not want analytics data transferred, you may contact us or delete the app. To prevent report abuse, your IP address is checked briefly but not stored.
4. Sharing with third parties
We do not share personal information with third parties. When you tap directions, only the store’s location and name are passed to Naver Map, KakaoMap or Google Maps, whose own policies then apply. The map is displayed using the Naver Map SDK. While the map is displayed, service usage information such as the app’s client ID and usage volume is sent to NAVER Cloud Corp. and NAVER Corp., which may store and use it to operate and improve the map service, under their own policies.
5. Deletion
Information is deleted automatically once its retention period ends.
6. Your rights
You may request access to, correction, deletion or suspension of processing of your information at any time. Because the app holds no information that identifies you, we handle requests to the extent we can verify them (for example, the content of a report). Data on your device can be deleted at once by deleting the app.
7. Security
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), collect only what is needed, and restrict access.
8. Children
The app is not directed at children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
